The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“In declining to press this issue on appeal, we believe that appellate counsel did not fall below the standards set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 [ 104 S.Ct. 2052 , 80 L.Ed.2d 674 ] (1984). The applicant has failed to show that but for this determination by appellate counsel there was a reasonable probability that the outcome would have been different. In determining the issues to be emphasized on appeal, counsel has considerable discretion. We perceive no abuse of that discretion in counsel’s declining to press the issue of the reading of the statutory definition of the crime in the course of the trial justice’s instruction.”
